Premium Member A Ton of Fun

This singer had a ton of fun
Calling himself Donovan
   Updated his moniker to 'Mellow Yellow'

Premium Member My Funny Valentine

Names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Donovan was not a handsome man
But Lulu was his most ardent fan
She followed him around 
Til he was forced aground
And torpedoed by her love’s grand plan

Premium Member A Fly on the Wall

The poet apologizes to Donovan

Thrown like a fly on the wall
It's sixty years since his last call
Who would have thought we would see 
The ending of democracy
When will the Hurdy Gurdy Man, come singing songs of love…

Not learning from histories past
Abdicating power fast
Self-rule is not certainty
Despots don’t serve humanity 
When will the Hurdy Gurdy Man, come singing songs of love…

Later - On - We Dance

Yes, later on 
   we will dance
                    and perhaps 
see stars overhead
Does it matter 
That we sing here on earth?
I think it does!
    Yes, and the lights from over the bridge 
     are shining 
as they have been shining for the past one hundred years
   If we can "catch the Wind" as Donovan put it 
we will feel safe 
and not sorry
Ready to deal with 
Whatever the future has in store for us

A Lovely Day

A light
came down from heaven
got confused
with the sun's rays
in a joyful day...
A cloud
separated for a
moment
the show
blue than the sky
offered ... but
the wind suitably
he composed
the cheerful picture
again...
The blued canvas
with the sun
brilliant ... they presented
to all
the scenery
of a day
full
of smiles ...
a lovely day...!

Premium Member I Am Sane 'V' Tribute

They think they have defeated me
Holding Sean as a trump card, 
No matter what, he will be free,
Wherever he goes I will be his guard;

I am going to trade myself for him,
This is the pivotal first move;  
To get him far away from them,
then everything will improve 

There is nothing that I can't handle
Except to see my son in pain 
I am willing to take this gamble
As long as he is safe, I am sane.

~Dedicated to Marc Singer
& the character of Mike Donovan
